Tryout Info

It is a Spring sport and tryouts are in the fall. There are summer games for incoming freshmen, but they are not required.

Experience is not required, but most new players have participated in youth leagues.

The regular season runs from early February to late April. CIF playoffs will go from April 30 through May 18. It is recommended that athletes remain available during “ski week” and spring break as there are workouts and the girls are in season and may have scheduled tournaments or games with other schools during this time.

Athletes work out in the fall and winter if they are not enrolled in other sports.

Softball hosts a camp for younger athletes during the week of Ski week.
